The difference between covalent and ionic compounds are as followings :-

★Ionic compounds are generally made of cations or anions.

★Covalent compound are formed by sharing of electrons.

★Ionic compounds are good conductor of electricity but only in molten form.

★Covalent compounds are bad conductor of electricity.

★Ionic compounds have high melting or boiling point.

Covalent compounds have low melting or boiling points.

★Ionic compounds have strong force of attraction between their ions.

★Covalent compound have weak van - der - walls force of attraction between their molecules.

★Ionic compounds are soluble in polar medium.

★Covalent compounds may or may not soluble in polar medium. They are soluble in organic solvent.

★Ionic compounds are :- NaCl, KCl, NaNO3, etc.

★Covalent compounds are :- methane, Benzene, Acetic acid etc.
